Daylight is receding…
Darkness takes its place.
Dear Lord… we souls pleading
Ask of thy fair grace.
Pity thou our Fallen…
Comfort them when they come.
Bid them with thy calling
To thy heavenly home.

For each noble sacrifice…
By air and land and sea…
Take them into paradise…
E’er to dwell with thee.
Show them mercy in thy sight…
From mortal stain release…
In the beauty of thy light…
In eternal peace.

Grant them with thy blessing
Thy care evermore…
For with love possessing
We do thee adore.
For all time may you be
Our Saviour and friend.
Glory be unto thee…
Amen… Amen.
